You’re moving again? I don’t believe it! Why, this must be the fifth time in 5 years! Well I certainly hope you prepare for this move properly, and hire proper movers, not like the last time when you hired those guys off the street for a few dollars each and then spent the entire year trying to collect money from your insurance company for the damage they did.

Most of us make at least a couple of moves in our lifetimes. It’s a traumatic and nerve-wracking affair. Hiring professional movers goes part of the way to reducing the stress, but not all movers and moving companies are so great. Some of them do what you did last time; grab guys off the street with the promise of a few dollars an hour. Ever watched one of these so-called movers bang into the door jamb wile he’s carrying one of your expensive pieces?

Hire only the best and the most professional movers. Check that the movers have insurance – ask to see the policy. Talk with one or two of the men. They don’t have to have college degrees, but they do have to be able to understand simple English.
